We’re incredibly proud to share this beautiful story about Dr Sheraz Anjum and the journey that has shaped his approach to care.
From humble beginnings in Pakistan to becoming a highly respected orthopaedic surgeon in the Illawarra, Sheraz’s story is one of resilience, hard work and a deep commitment to his patients.
A huge thank you to Region Illawarra and journalist Keeli Dyson for telling this story so thoughtfully.

🏆 The Urban Wrecks — living proof of our Moving Forward philosophy.
Huge congrats to Joint Vision CEO Wynter Dares and his championship-winning social basketball team, the Urban Wrecks, on taking out their comp at Illawarra Sports Stadium ... on a court proudly sponsored by Joint Vision in support of community sport.
Asked about the win, Wynter was humble as ever:
“We’re just staying ready. If the Illawarra Hawks call, the Urban Wrecks will answer.” 🏀😄
From weekend warriors to elite athletes (or at least elite in spirit), staying active and supporting local sport is what we’re all about. Backing community facilities like this is one small way we help keep the Illawarra moving and occasionally cutting down the nets.
Nice work, Urban Wrecks. Christmas beers officially earned. 🎄🍻

🎄 Reflecting on community, care and connection this Christmas.
As the year comes to a close, we’re reminded that the impact we make goes beyond health care alone — it’s about supporting the people and places that make the Illawarra home. From expanding our clinic and strengthening our multidisciplinary care model to seeing more people move with confidence and comfort every day, it’s been a meaningful year for Joint Vision.
We were honoured to stand alongside Friends of Industry at their recent Christmas event, supporting The Salvation Army Christmas Appeal — together raising funds, toys and gift vouchers for local families and teenagers doing it tough this holiday season.
If you haven’t yet, take a moment to read our Christmas message and reflections on community, care and the things that really matter:

Here’s to a safe, restful and injury-free festive season — and to brighter, healthier days in 2026.

We’re excited to share some big news! 🎉
Dr Meghan Dares has been featured in The Senior as part of a national three-story series on how modern “keyhole” bunion surgery is helping Australians recover faster and with far less pain.
Meghan is doing incredible work in this space, and it’s fantastic to see her recognised as a leading voice in foot and ankle surgery across Australia.
A big thank you to The Senior and journalist Phoebe Loomes for helping raise awareness about new surgical options that make a real difference in people’s lives.

Fun night out at the Hawks on Saturday with Dr Meghan Dares and a great group of GPs! 🏀
The Hawks had a tough one… but lucky for them, we had enough clinical expertise in the stands to help diagnose the shooting slump. 😅
Always enjoy connecting with our GP community outside the clinic.
Here’s hoping Thursday’s game brings a healthier stat line!

Meet Our Illawarra Champions ❤️
This week, we had the privilege of hosting three inspiring locals at the Illawarra Hawks game as part of Joint Vision’s Moving Forward initiative.
🌟 Natalie Gartshore — spreading kindness, joy and determination everywhere she goes.
🌟 Sonia Milgate — a volunteer who kept giving to her community even while recovering from Achilles surgery.
🌟 Cherie McMahon — whose strength and devotion while caring for her husband led her into a new path of helping others.
These incredible individuals were nominated by people who have witnessed their impact firsthand — and each one represents what makes our Illawarra community so special.
💙 Thank you to everyone who sent in nominations. We will be inviting more Illawarra Champions to future Hawks games this year.

Spot a familiar face on the Aquathon poster?

That’s our physio Kat on the left — out in the community practising exactly what we preach.

Movement, strength and staying active aren’t just things we talk about at Joint Vision… our team actually lives it.

Love seeing Kat representing the Illawarra and showing what healthy movement looks like in real life. 🌊💪
